bigal You'll need JWS3309 compliant ATF if the 55-50 takes the same fluid as the 55-51.. Quite positive it would. I'm about to put in Valvoline MaxLife ATF. Toyota IV ATF is another which I've read is Mobile 1 ATF fluid. Penrite and Nulon I think make some also.
Stubanger Currently have a slow leak from the bottom of the radiator. Keep topping it up with coolant, sometimes the thermofan stays on for a few minutes after i turn the car off? New radiator and temp sensor in my near future? Have tried my Innovate motorsports LM2 scanner on it (check engine light on) however it says "cant connect to ECU" do i need a different scan tool for Volvos?
Ex850R CTS is always worth replacing. Radiator can last for a while but don't trust on a long hot drive. Did you change heater core and hoses? They all need done at once.

I've only ever replaced a heater core when it started leaking on the floor....sounds overkill to replace a working heater core?
Ex850R It will happen.... You don't want it to get to that as if it fails in a big way it means you cook the head. Coolant circulates feel through the heater core as it does the radiator core. Any weaknesses are soon found be it the little hose at the back of the rhs of the head(get Volvo branded one, cheap insurance) that went on me on one P80 or a heater hose junction block.
elvis35 try volv of adelaide or wright st mechanical, I live in Adelaide and have used both and both are excellent. I have a S70 and i live in Adelaide so give me a heads up if you need a hand
Stubanger Cleared the fault codes 2,000kms ago and all is well, besides the radiator leak and a slight steering wheel wobble at 100-110km/hr from the left front (control arm bush,ball joint, tie rod?)
Stubanger Time to get this one back on the road. I need new control arms, drivers seat and rear passenger door trim. Any recommendations on sourcing these?
